NEW YORK: Venus Williams arrived at Flushing Meadows in black skyscraper heels. She paired a fitted, silk jacket with a white skirt. A rosette pinback covered her shoulder. She clutched a baguette bag in one hand and gripped her racket kit in the other. The only hint that she was here for tennis.
The two-time champion is 43, she's ranked 410 in the WTA rankings and has three match wins from six tournaments in 2023. She entered on a wildcard.
